I am using Harvard Graphics to do a lot of my charting etc. The problem I am running into is that except for PFS:First Publisher, you can not import Harvard Graphics format (.CHT), into anything. I would like to incorporate these images into a Wordperfect 5.0 file or a Pagemaker file. Is there any program out there that can be purchase or is public domain, that would let me do this. I am very surprised that no major word procssing software incorporates the CHT format, considering Harvard Graphics is so popular in the business industry. Please e-mail or post. Thank You.

Try using CGM as your intermediate picture file format. I am fairly certain that Harvard Graphics produces CGM's, and that PageMaker imports them; I don't know about Word Perfect. Given that CGM is a standard, it does not make sense for software vendors to spend alot of time supporting YAPPF (yet another proprietary picture format ;@) when they can support CGM and be done with it! Of course, proprietary formats tend to be faster and have more application- specific features if you're just working within one application; where standards really come in handy is when you're trying to port the final picture from one application to another.
